                                            The word "respect" by Brandee Darden. Blog episode on Wednesday, November 30th, 2022! 

Intro to my blog!! 

Hello, my Blogger Dreamers and welcome back to a weekly blog!! It's your girl aka the blogger queen herself, Brandee here! I am so happy to have y'all on a new blog episode for today! Happy Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday! How's my fandom doing today? I hope everyone is doing well and okay! If not, that's okay! Everything will be okay! Before I do a recap on Monday's blog episode or talk about today's blog episode, I want to talk about November! November was a month where I don't want to forget! The reason why I don't want to forget about it is because on November 1st, I was just laying in bed and then, my best friend who became my boyfriend asked me to be his girlfriend and of course, I said yes! That stood out to me in the month of November and I can't believe it will be a month on Thursday since he asked me to be his girlfriend! Now, let's do a recap on Monday's blog! On Monday, I talked about Finding out about BTS military enlistment!! When I find out about their enlistment, I knew it was going to happen but I didn't know it would happen this soon! Finding out that Jin was going to go on December 13th of this year, it makes me sad because I love Jin and I will always love Jin no matter what but I will wait for all 7 to come back healthy and strong!! Now, for today's blog episode, I will be talking about the word "respect". In this blog episode, I will be talking about when I think about the word "respect", what comes to mind? Why does it come to mind? In my opinion, do I think respect should be earned or do I think respect should be received? Why do I think it should be one or the other? What is the significance behind respect? Why is there significance behind the word "respect"? Now, without any further ado, let's get started! Shall we? We shall!! 

Talking about the word "respect". Why do I believe in respect? 

The word respect to me signifies you are respecting people who are older than you and you understand what they are saying and what they mean! I believe in respect and showing others who respect you! If someone doesn't respect you as a person, you should never show that person or people no respect at all! When people disrespect you, it is like a stab in the heart because you thought they will respect you as a person, but in reality, they don't care about you as a person and they don't care about giving you any respect at all which is so stupid!! Why do I believe in respect? The reason why I believe in respect is because when I give people respect, I respect people as a person and who they love or what I like! I don't judge who they are dating or what they like but if someone disrespects me, they have to earn my respect back and that isn't easy at all! My respect is hard to earn back because once you lost my respect, good luck earning it back! It will take months or even years to get back my respect! Just saying!! 

The word "respect". Why does it come to mind?

When I think about the word "respect", what comes to mind? When I think about the word "respect", I think about respecting people who are older than you! Growing up, I always respected my dad, my mom, or people who were older than me but once disrespected me or my family, I automatically cut them out of my life! I will never tolerate someone disrespecting me or my family! I want respect and if you respect me, then I will respect you! I will respect what you like or who you like but if you don't do the same for me, I will end our friendship in a heartbeat! I am just saying! Why does it come to mind? The reason why it comes to mind is because I feel people should respect other people but once you messed up, then I don't know about others, but with me, our friendship is over! I won't, I repeat, I won't tolerate disrespect towards me or my family or in anyone who I am close to because once you disrespect me, I won't be there for you anymore because you hurt me! Just saying!

My opinion about respect should be earned or received? Why do I think it should be one or the other? 

In my opinion, do I think respect should be earned or do I think respect should be received? In my opinion, I think respect should be earned! Here are my reasons on why it should be earned not received: reason #1: If you disrespect me, I won't tolerate it! Reason #2: If you call me names or disrespect my family, I will call off our friendship or I will just block you. And reason #3: If you are not supporting me or you are just simply disrespecting me, then I am done with you! Once someone disrespecting me, I over it! I am not going to deal with someone who thinks respect should be received because it shouldn't be received but it should be earned! You have to earn it from me! Why do I think it should be one or the other? I think it should be earned not received because when you respect someone, you support their decision whether it wrong or right, you respect what they like and not hate on it, and you should help that person to make the right respectful decision because if you help them make the right decision, it is respectful of you for helping them! Respect is earned not received and don't get the short end of the stick! 

The significance behind respect! Why is there significance behind the word "respect"? 

What is the significance behind respect? The significance behind respect is today, people are lacking respect and it stinks because I think respecting your parents is big thing to me! You might not agree with them with what they are saying half the time, but you should respect them no matter what! I have older siblings and sometimes, I don't agree with what my sisters say to me but am I going to respect them? Yes, I am going to respect my sisters who are older then me and I am not going to argue with them! I think there is a lot of significance behind the word respect and I feel like if someone disrespects you, make them earn your respect, not giving it to them for free! Why is there significance behind the word "respect"? The reason why there is a lot of significance behind the word "respect" is because when you respect someone, it shows that you respect them as a person or what they like or you respect what they do, but if you disrespect them then, you don't like what they do or you don't support it! You should always respect what people do because if you respect what people do, it shows that you support what they do!

In conclusion/ Advice of the day/ Question of the day? 

In conclusion, you are going to have people who are going to respect you for what you do or the decisions that you make and you are going to have people who are going to disrespect you and not support the decisions that you make but that's fine! We learn from those mistakes and we move on from those mistakes! People are going to respect you and love you for who you are but people are going to disrespect you and you don't need that in your life but no matter how old you are, listen to your parents! A lot of times, your parents know best and you should ALWAYS listen to your parents no matter what! I am 24 years old and I still listen to my dad, my mom, my step mom, and my two older sisters because I don't like disrespecting people who doesn't deserve to be disrespected!! Here is the advice and question of the day? The advice of the day is if you notice someone disrespecting you, cut them out of your life because you don't need the disrespect and you deserve so much better! Cut those toxic people out of your life because you don't need that!! My question of the day is Do you think respect should be earned or received? Sound off in the comments down below! I would love to read y'all's thoughts!! I love y'all!!

Alright, my Blogger Dreamers! It's your Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here to remind everyone that y'all have reached the end of today's blog episode!! Respect is earned, not given and don't give out your respect to people who don't respect you! My Blogger Dreamers deserve so much better than that! For today's quote of the day, it goes like this: "When you're tired, get some rest. When your sad, go ahead and cry. It's okay to do that". -Oh Ji Hwang. I love this quote so much because when you feel exhausted and tired, you just want to sleep. When you want to cry, just do it because if you hold all your emotions in, you are going to explode and your emotions are going to spill out! It's okay to cry and be tired! That's okay because everything will be okay! I hope everyone enjoy this blog episode for today! Don't forget our slogan: "Dream big. Don't give up on your dreams"!

Quote of the day!! I love this quote so much! Such an amazing quote!! 

"You can't force someone 
to respect you, but you 
can refuse to be disrespected".
-Unknown. I love this because you can't force someone to respect you but you can walk away from the disrespect because you don't deserve that!! 

"If you constantly 
have to tell someone 
about how you feel
and they don't change 
it, understand they 
don't respect you".
-Unknown. I also love this quote as well because if you tell someone how you are feeling and they don't understand it, they don't bother to respect you at all and you need the respect that you deserve!!! 

"Know your place in 
people's lives and act 
accordingly. It's not pride, 
it's self respect".
-Unknown. I love the top quote a lot because you have to have self respect within yourself because if people aren't going to respect you, then you should respect yourself and that's it! Respect yourself no matter what!!
